Ariel, I understand that the help dialog uses the Writer/Web interpreter.
Opening the webpage within Writer, I see the text direction is RTL, but
LEFT-ALIGNED (changed issue's title). 

Maybe we can just add to the CSS "body{ ... direction: rtl; text-align:
right;}" and that would solve this issue. 
I think Writer/Web supports text alignment, and the "direction" instruction can
be there for future's sake, if that's not supported yet.

How can we test my suggestion? to create a test webpage and open it with
Writer, as you instructed me?
